A rambling, scatterbrained account of the life of doll addict DorrieBelle. She's got an overworked husband, an autistic son, a damaged ticker and just discovered she's a full fledged insulin-using diabetic and slightly anemic. She's also a tightwad who loves to sew doll clothes, and could talk the ear off a bartender. And she's got a heckuva temper ! Luckily, her 'Empress of the Universe' delusion helps to keep things in check. If you wanna know more, we pity you... but here it is !

Elsa's new dress !

After wresting with Dearest
Son’s doctor’s office about AWOL prescriptions for most of the morning, I found
out it’s his specialist that prescribed them, not the doctor. D’oh ! Luckily he
still had refils at OldTown pharmacy, so I asked to have them transferred. Long
story short (too late !), we got what he needed and got to tour Mal-Wart
afterwards !

The toy section was sad. Monster High was down to less than a
quarter of one side of a gondola, and while it’d never been more than a half of
one to begin with, it was all crammed up, everything slurred together, dolls,
art sets, makeup kits, pets, all in one huge wad of a mess. It was the same
story for most other categories – MLP,
Disney Princesses, Frozen,AG clones
– except Barbie. She still had nearly
all of one side, and it was fairly well organized, if kind of empty. I lucked
out, they’d restocked the $2.47 shoes and accessory kits, and snagged the ‘Kitty’
one I’d seen so long ago. I thought I lost out on that one, and was sad a bit, ‘cause
I loved the kitty ears and purse. Not to mention, I more or less live in black
flats ! They also had the same-price outfits, but they were the usual
front-print-only straight sheaths, and I didn’t see a half-print I really
liked.

I really liked how they were
packaged. You could see everything in there ! Next aisle over hosted the
house-brand ‘Sparkle Girlz’ and all their stuff, and I instantly found a dress
I really wanted to see on Elsa. So, there she is ! It’s a simple outfit, even
has that ‘strip of ribbon’ underwear, but I couldn’t even find that skirt
fabric for $2., much less sew it. She’s wearing the shoes that came with it,
and while they’re not exactly made for specific feet, they each oddly fit
better on one foot than the other.

Our store had also restocked
Frozen dolls, and had numerous Anna
and Elsas, but all molded-bodice versions from last year, no Frozen Fever dolls at all. Kind of a
shame, I love this Elsa so much, I was considering Anna, if I could find her in
the harsh light of retail.

Dearest has decided he may
want a Celestia when I order my Build-A-Bear Luna (just a little over a week
now !), so while he looked at toys, movies, huge chocolate rabbits and
computers, he only went for the chips I promised him. Besides, as he observed, ‘they
haven’t stocked any new Lego since before Christmas’. Got the few groceries we
needed, and having secured the ‘scripts first thing, we were outta there.

Oo! The dress looks great on her! I grabbed one of the Sparkle Girlz outfits for my Elsa, too! It's the one with the coral lace top with the two rows of ruffles. The color isn't an exact match for FF Elsa's lipstick, but she looks good in the color anyway! XD
